68% average usually means the game has large flaws, while there is some fun to be found if you look for it there are also a fair number of frustrations and parts that should have been cut. However, that is average. The other two reviews were 3/10 which is quite bad and the resulting averate is lower than 68%, probably closer to 50 or even less.
Either way, 70% or so is still not a good score when most people only buy a fraction of the games released and they prefer to buy the best games instead of barely passable ones. With enough 80-90% games going around who'd buy a 70% one?
For games with their $50 price tags you'd also have to differentiate between "buy at full price", "wait for the bargain bin", "rent" and "never buy this". Plus maybe some ranking between games since it's unlikely that anyone can buy all the games that are interesting so it would be useful to say which games are better than others.
Has there been a court ruling on whether EULAs are enforceable or not?
AFAIK in Germany yes and they were ruled not enforceable. However, it was mentioned above that the review was done on a copy leaked by a retailer (no idea how much earlier that was but at least one retailer here habitually breaks release dates by 1-2 days).
Really? I don't see a law supporting this. They can maybe extract some damage payments but just knowing someone has a copy is not enough to show where they got it from or that they redistributed it (while redistribution is not necessary to sue them it has to come from an "obviously unlawful source" to be actionable, if you can show neither you aren't going to get any money), I doubt one downloaded copy is enough to put a company out of business.
That can edit a lot of other preferences too BTW, like cookie settings, popups, allowing/disabling flash/javascript/GIF animation, etc. Apparently you can also force an encoding now for those pages that completely fail to set it properly (wasn't available in 9.27 IIRC).
However it's also wrong to assume that metal automatically means it's more durable, if it was built shoddily it might very well break before a good wooden bat would. It's likely that the metal bat is more durable than the wooden bat but it is not guaranteed.
Well, except for Nintendo titles, as Nintendo tends to translate their games into 4 more languages just to satisfy the dumbasses who refuse to learn English like everyone else.
Nintendo has no right to complain. They don't even translate the voice acting. EA or Ubisoft might have a right but they don't seem to have much trouble with getting a translation done in time.
Left vs Right started as working class vs ruling class and the Nazis allied themselves with the ones who wanted their monarch back. The right is not necessarily for deregulation, in fact they can be for regulation that benefits the rich.
What about Java? The island has a lot of volcanic activity that makes the soil fertile and people love that, leading to a population density of over 1000 people per square kilometer.
Were any of them ever used in combat against a serious enemy? Of course you won't lose ships when quashing small third-world countries and the last roughly-even war the US was part of was probably WW2. Had the cold war gone hot there'd probably be a lot more sunk nuclear-powered ships but without fighting an enemy that's an actual threat there won't be many losses.
Plutonium isn't the only waste, the water used to cool the reactor becomes radioactive and water is, well, liquid. AFAIK the radiation it emits is enough to slowly corrode concrete so it's not easy to store that stuff, one leak and it escapes.
Proliferation concerns could cause diplomatic trouble with other nations, especially China. If other nuclear powers see that as a threat they might start increasing their own arsenal.
Yeah, disable the Freeloader. Can't have Europeans get games for 33% cheaper and months earlier, can you? Everyone, bend over!
I recall something about the developer promising updated Freeloader versions for free if your version gets obsoleted by the Firmware, anyone know if that's true?

If you can work a Donaudampfschifffahrt into that somehow you win.
No normal person would include the tagline in their speech therefore a listener would be confused which g(-)mail they mean.
Don't you mean "himself"?

I doubt a good that's held back because of contracts counts as stolen. It's breach of contract but not theft.

Fitting in with your sig the popular and good opensource games seem to come mostly in the former-commercial or clone-of-commercial flavours.

New tab? MMB on the tab bar works just fine.
Er, what? You mean set some form of decoy weapon up? why not a real weapon with real bullets that kill stuff real dead?
Well, we're talking about binoculars, I'd assume you wouldn't be using them when you aren't trying to find something in the distance.
If you think of Halon as an obstacle to getting rid of unwanted people you haven't read enough BOfH.

That limit already exists and they use shell companies to work around it.
Meh. You make it sound like any Earthbound games were released in Europe. Drill Dozer. Katamari Damacy. Super Mario RPG. All never released here.

The legit folks don't care about DRM because they're going to play the games with the disks in
If it was that easy you wouldn't see the forums of every developer who uses a nasty DRM scheme filled with complaints about false positives.
